Sarcopenia Clinical Trial
Official title:
Pilot Study On Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy For Osteosarcopenia
This prospective, single-site, single arm pilot study aims to assess the efficacy of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) exposure in the reduction of the decline in muscle strength, function and bone mineral density (BMD) in osteosarcopenia.
